Went for hi-tea at sheraton towers on sunday to celebrate my mum's and niece's birthday. Well...as I can't take any raw stuff...I can't touch the salmon sashimi. So sad. But I don't find the variety any good.
I am now looking for some mini buffet as I am organising a gathering of the 2 families (my family and my in-laws at my place for a BBQ in April) Planning to have a mini buffet and a mini BBQ as I think it's will be quite a long wait to get BBQ food cooked and to feed 15 adults and 4 kids. I think it's going to be fun.
Met up with a secondary friend last friday for dinner and coffee. Been such a long time since I met up with any friends.
Baby has been kicking more this week. Sometimes when the baby is not kicking, I would get paranoid and starts to pat my tummy. Hahaha. The instructor at the parentcraft class told us that babies have emotions too and sometimes they are also too lazy to move or just want to rest.
Sometimes the baby kicks or punches so hard that I will go oooohhhh. So funny. I am still attending my pre-natal yoga lessons. The instructor will be away for a holiday the whole of April so I am thinking should I continue the class at somewhere else or wait for her to come back. But the exercise does help in the relieving the backpain for a day or two.
Had the scan today at my gynae. It was a long wait. Finally saw my baby darling again. She has grown so much...double her weight since last visit. She weighs about 730g now. I can feel her kick twice during the scan. Doc asks me to keep my blood pressure and diabetes in check else I might need to induce the baby around 32 - 36 weeks. My blood pressure has been very good...even better than hubby. Diabetes control depends largely on my diet...if I am naughty then my blood sugar will go up..hee.
So far, everything seems to be within normal range so it's good. Baby is doing fine and I am looking forward to seeing her again next month. The best part is I only gain about 200g since my last visit and that makes a total gain of about 3kg in total. I amazed myself. I guess it is also partly due to my diet for diabetes control, lesser carbo and sugar stuff.

So angry
I was pretty pissed off with a comfort cab driver and the taxi operator yesterday. I made a booking for a cab to the lobby of my place.
I went down and found no cab so I called the hotline. The operator after checking with the cab driver (I assumed as I was put on hold) told me to wait at the guardhouse for the cab to arrive.
I started to get pissed off when I heard that. Why would I want to go to the guardhouse and wait for the cab when I made a booking? I might as well go out and flag down a cab myself. Not wanting to waste time as the cab was like 15mins late, I walked out to the guardhouse.
The cab driver didn't even apologise for being late. Along the way, the driver drove in a really dangerous manner which caused me much stress throughout the whole journey. First up, he was driving in parallel with this mitsubishi lancer on the right most lane. I was thinking, there was no car in front of the cab nor the lancer, if he wanted to overtake, it's a pretty simple thing to do.
But he didn't, he just kept driving parallel to the car and staring at the car driver. And he would accelerate and brake (or releasing his accelerator) and made the whole journey so jerky.
After this incident, he did the same thing with other cars. He would turn his whole head to look at the drivers of the cars to the left and right on a highway....I really have no idea what he was doing. He didn't even like focus on the road in front but turned his head left and right for God knows what reasons.
I was so glad when the journey finally ended else I would be so stressed and giddy. This is bad for baby....relax...relax....

Home-Vacation
Actually wanted to drive to Malacca and KL over the weekend and had already taken leave. But doc advised me not to walk too much so I decided not to go ahead with the trip but took the trip in Singapore instead. Hubby was saying it was such a strange feeling.
We actually booked a hotel room in Meritus Mandarin for 3 nights. So funny,right?
So all we did during those 4 days were laze in bed, watched TV programmes, go makan, go movies..hahahaha
Strangely, I only gained 100g throughout these 4 days. I guess it was because I had diarrhoea on Thursday and Friday morning. I even vomitted. Not sure if its the food from the wedding dinner I went to on Wednesday night.
The pain was excruciating and I was so worried it might cause contractions. Thank God, everything was well.
And yah, we went to the IT show on Sunday. It was a hit and go kind of stuff...in and out in 15mins...heehee.
Saw 2 of my ex-colleagues there as well. This is the first time I saw the huge crowd for the IT show. Look at the picture...amazing. That was only at 12.15pm...15 mins after the show opened. I heard it got worse. What recession are we talking about here? The earnings even went up this year as reported.

It's a girl
Had a detailed check today and the baby's gender is a girl. So happy...
I can imagine all the cute and lovely clothes I can buy for her..hahaha
It was quite a scary experience initially....mostly because of my past experiences.
I was praying hard the night before....praying that the baby will be healthy and well.
I was like concentrating hard on the baby's brain when they are scanning her skull and brains. I was praying I won't see the same thing again. Then the attention went to heart....the sonographer spent quite some time on the heart and I wasn't breathing at all. I was so scared something might happen to her heart. She stood up and mentioned she need to get the Prof in. I can tell you, for that moment, I almost feel like breaking into tears. The last time that happened one of my babies was diagnosed with excessive fluid in the brain.
The prof came in and started off with the sentence - your 12th week scan was perfect. I was like....you mean it's no good this time round. He went on to scan the brain and started explaining the measurements etc. Thank God, he was just trying to reassure us that everything is fine. He then tells me that he needs to check on more things to ensure that everything is ok because of my previous incident.
He also asked me not to walk too much as it might trigger off contractions and scheduled me for the next visit. Then he said our baby has long legs. Cool.
And i can feel baby moving quite a lot recently...it can get pretty uncomfortable at times but I rather I can feel it else I will become paranoid if I can't feel her movement.
Thank God for this wonderful gift and I know He will see us through this pregnancy and gave us this gift.
